I am a hybrid woodworker. As such i have a variety of power and hand tools which i work with. Sawstop, jessem router table, dewalt planer, cutech jointer and a variety of lie nielson, veritas tools that your welcome to come an try out hands on. I will share my buying experienc, why i picked these specific tools, pros and cons and what i wish i knew before i purchased them. 

I put this out there because there is no substitute for try before you buy. So if anyone is interested im available to chat or better yet come visit. I will close by saying that selecting the tool is only the first step. Getting the best out of it is the hard part. Help is available there too.
